November 29, Ding Mao month, Xinwei day, it is advisable to sacrifice and pray for blessings.

After the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, everything was complicated, and the gift of thanking God has been extended to this day.

"Pray for the peace of my Dahua and the four seas, the wind and rain are smooth, and the country will be extended!" On the top of the mountain, Xia Chengxuan raised his hands and prayed to the sky.

"Pray for the peace of my Dahua and the four seas, the wind and rain are smooth, and the country will be extended!"

The ministers bowed down again and again, kowtowed to thank the sky, and the ceremony was completed.

After the ceremony, Xia Chengxuan invited Xia Chenghuan and Xia Chengcan to visit Yushan together, and the three of them chatted while walking slowly.

"Have you all read the military report in Pinan?" Xia Chengxuan looked back and asked the two.

"I have seen that Mu Danqing and Chen's 150,000 soldiers are in Baishan, which is only two hundred miles away from the national border, and with their marching speed, they can attack Pinan in three days. Let's plan ahead. Xia Chengcan replied in a deep voice.

Duanmu Yu sneaked into Dahua at the invitation of Xu Xiaoyu and An Wuyu, which was a big risk, Xu Qianmeng, as the minister of the Turkic country, had to be fully prepared. In addition to ordering the "clairvoyant" to inquire about the news of all parties and setting up sentry posts along the way, he also did another big thing: let Mu Danqing lead an army of 150,000 to be stationed at Wangxiankou in Baishan County.

He had a two-purpose plan, one was to let the Dahua court focus on the border between the two countries, and had no time to take care of the Ruozhou Alliance, and second, once Duanmu Yu was really in danger, Mu Danqing could also lead the army to storm Dahua and forcibly force people.

Sure enough, as soon as his army was stationed at Wangxiankou, the Pinan outpost sent a report to the capital in an expedited manner of 800 li. For a time, the Dahua government and the opposition were full of worries.

After Xia Chengxuan ascended the throne, instead of persecuting the Yiwang Mansion and the Zhenwang Mansion, he rewarded the two families with special rewards. Xia Chenghuan and Xia Chengcan were both canonized as princes by overstepping the system, and the sons and county lords of the two princes also had their own rewards, and both of them entered the court and served as auxiliary politicians, each with heavy responsibilities for civil and military affairs. Even the white-clothed army, which he was most afraid of before, was completely handed over to Xia Chengcan.

What a decentralization!

And what a trust!

"Chengcan, I don't say that you know the danger of the society. You and I are both the grandsons of the Xia family, and we should lead our lives and support this country. Since ancient times, great disasters began in Xiao Wall, and brothers fought with each other, often giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of the gap, and this is the case with you and my father's generation. The current Dahua can't stand the toss, I hope you will let go of your distractions and help me wholeheartedly. Only when you, me, and Chenghuan work together, can the Xia clan avoid annihilation surrounded by strong enemies. If you want to work together, you don't doubt each other. I will make you the commander of the white-clothed army, and the 90,000 troops will be under your control. ”

These words were said before April, when Xia Chengxuan summoned Xia Chengcan at night. At that time, Xia Chengcan could hardly believe his ears.

The white-clothed army is the strongest combat force in Dahua, although it is only 90,000, it is far superior to the 200,000 garrison army. Xia Chengxuan finally returned to the imperial court, and he was handed over to his own hands so easily!

If you want to work together, you don't doubt each other.

"If you want to work together, you don't doubt each other? He is so bold? Hehe, I really don't have any injustice when I lose to him in the battle for the throne. If it is said that Ji Dahua is in hardship, I am not as good as him. ”

Since then, Xia Chengcan has no thoughts of fighting, and wholeheartedly assists him in handling court affairs.

"Hmm. Duanmuyu and we all know that the battle of the Great Chinese Turkic Kingdom will come sooner or later. Mu Danqing would never take so many people to the border for no reason, maybe Duanmu Yu wanted to provoke this battle before my Dahua vitality recovered. The total number of people at the Pinan outpost and the Cangzhou garrison barracks is only more than 40,000, which is absolutely inadequate. King Xin, I want your white-clothed army to move the garrison to Pazhou, what do you think?" Xia Chengxuan said to Xia Chengcan.

Xia Chengcan did not inherit Xia Muyang's title of county king, but had a new title: Prince Xin, which was the first time in more than 300 years in Dahua.

Some people say that the new emperor employs people and rewards people in an eclectic manner, and some say that he ignores etiquette and acts arbitrarily, but Xia Chengxuan doesn't care at all, and he named Prince Xia Chenghuanrui, which has the meaning of sharing the rule of the country with these two people.

"That's how it should be. Xia Chengcan responded, "At the beginning of the establishment of the White Army, it was to deal with the Turkic State, and the previous garrison in Xiahe County was just because of problems left over from history. Now that the Turkic country has moved troops, it is the time for our white-clothed army to resist the enemy and serve the country, and it is better to move to Pinan as soon as possible, and finally start tomorrow. ”

"Not bad. After a while, I went down the mountain to find Sima Ang and asked him to prepare the chariots, horses, grain and grass needed to move the army. Xia Chenghuan continued, "This year, all states and counties have a bumper harvest, and even if there is a real fight, it will not be short of military salaries." ”

Xia Chengxuan smiled: "Haha, that's good!"

The three of them walked dozens of steps, and he suddenly remembered something, and said to Xia Chengcan: "King Xin, Mu Danqing's department has 150,000, plus the border guards of Baishan County, there are 200,000 people in the country, although your white-clothed army is brave, I am still a little worried in my heart." What do you think of Ouluhai?"

Ou Luhai only knew Xia Muyan's intentions when he met Xia Chengcan in Yuanzhou, although he led his troops back to the garrison in time, after all, he committed the big crime of trespassing. Xia Chengxuan only reduced his military position in consideration of his prestige in the army, and did not punish him.

"Does the emperor want him to lead the army of Southern Chu to share Mu Danqing with me?" asked Xia Chengcan.

"Ou Luhai has led the army of Southern Chu for many years, and he also knows Mu Danqing well. I can't think of the right person to help you for a while. Xia Chengxuan frowned and replied, "It's just..."

As an emperor, of course, he had his own concerns.

"The emperor can rest assured, and the minister believes that Ou Luhai has no two hearts. Please ask the emperor to reinstate his military duties and lead the southern army of Chu to Pinan first. The white-clothed army could only send the cavalry first, and the infantry would only be able to move over after the year, so let him keep an eye on Mu Danqing first. Xia Chengcan said solemnly.

"Okay!" Xia Chengxuan replied with a smile, "Send him a personal favor again, and let Ou Xiaoxiao go to General Chunan's Mansion to receive a military position." Father and son soldiers, hoping that they can be invincible. ”

... ...

"The one who wants your life!"

Mei Yuanchen was startled, hurriedly turned around, and his face instantly became solemn.

"It must be them! These people who came to kill me must be the murderers of Daddy, Haitang, and Uncle Fu!" He clenched his fists tightly, but he had a feeling that he had more than enough strength - there were too many people on the other side.

After a long time of ruthlessness, he didn't say a word, pulled out a short knife from his waist and rushed towards Mei Yuanchen.

His speed is extremely fast, and his moves are also ruthless, far from being comparable to the three people on the ground, and before the person approached, Mei Yuanchen knew that he was definitely not his enemy.

The short knife stabbed over, and he couldn't dodge left and right, and when he saw that he was about to pierce his chest, a "clang" sounded, and it was Yun Xiaoyang who held the sword to block the ruthlessness for a long time.

Before Mei Yuanchen could say a word to her, he killed her again after a long time of ruthlessness, Yun Xiaoyang's long sword shook and frowned.

The sixty or seventy wrestlers brought by Jiu Wuru were beside him, and when they saw this, they took out their blades one after another, and swarmed to kill Xiang Mei and Yun.
